[Verse 1]
I've got ambition, I did the rounds
You got invested now you're taking me out
I'm nothing to you, that's what you like
I'm just a battery to keep you energized
[Pre-Chorus]
But if you see me coming
Pretend that I'm the only one
I like your lies
If you see me coming
You better show me you're in love
I like your lies
[Chorus]
There's a hollow inside you
And it won't disappear
Oh no, baby the way we work we've got about a year
There's a hollow inside you
But don't worry I'm here (I'm here)
I don't care that you're looking for the next girl of the year
Girl of the year
[Verse 2]
Somebody younger, with longer hair
When you want someone, clap your hands and she's there
No expectations and no regrets
I knew what I was in for soon as we met
[Pre-Chorus]
If you see me coming
Pretend that I'm the only one
I like your lies
If you see me coming
You better show me you're in love
I like your lies
[Chorus]
There's a hollow inside you
And it won't disappear
Oh no, baby the way we work we've got about a year
There's a hollow inside you
But don't worry I'm here (I'm here)
I don't care that you're looking for the next girl of the year
Girl of the year
I'm here
I'm here
Girl of the year
I'm here
I'm here
[Bridge]
Somebody gonna take my place
Somebody gonna take first place
You gotta keep your system going, going
Somebody gonna take my place
Somebody gonna take first place
You gotta keep your system going, going
[Chorus]
There's a hollow inside you
And it won't disappear
Oh no, baby the way we work we've got about a year
There's a hollow inside you
But don't worry I'm here (I'm here)
I don't care that you're looking for the next girl of the year
Girl of the year
[Pre-Chorus - Variation]
If you see me coming
Pretend that I'm the only one
I like your lies
(I'm here, girl of the year)
If you see me coming
You better show me you're in love
I like your lies
(I'm here, girl of the year)
If you see me coming
Pretend that I'm the only one
I like your lies
(I'm here, girl of the year)
If you see me coming
You better show me you're in love
I like your lies
(I'm here, girl of the year)
[Outro]
I'm here
I'm here, girl of the year
I'm here
Girl of the year
I'm here
I'm here, girl of the year
I'm here
I'm here
